i spoke to bret over a year ago,he left the workshop of subzero a couple of years back and moved to gilmour developments in qld,turns out he was a bit shonky and brett was having dramas with the set up,the car itself went to the fabricators and got a chop up(3/4 chassis)nice big tyre was fitted and a bright yellow paint job,this car became a dedicated race car,he was so pissed off by the wait and trouble he was going to on sell the car to me once finished but havent heard from him in a year.

as for mick stanic he left his familys sub zero business and moved to adelaide to tillbrook performance shop as the head mechanic,though i have heard many stories about mick over the years which would steer me clear from him,but each to there own i guess.

i did have pics of the car which ill try to find and might i add its was looking hot,i ended up buying parts of try-09s of brett and its a shame why he got treated the way he does,he is very busy travelling up and down the cost working with his father in some type of earth drilling business.

theres a website he gave me which i will try to dig up,stay tuned.

so its yellow now aye?

:confused:

omy08s u gotta vl drag car dont ya??? hows that goin?

car is almost ready just the little things you dont think about which im sure everyone misses out,like wiring,braided lines etc....im positive itll hit the dyno in about 4-6 weks then to the track it goes,if it runs into the 8s on its first meet ill be more than happy then we take it from there.....

as for try7s it is now bright bright yellow and looks great and is for sale if anyone is keen on a 7 second package in a 3/4 chassis skyline with an rb26 combo,all you have to do is find out where the hell brett is these days,until then good day.

      Pipe from Greddy FMIC to Greddy intake manifold (RB25)?

      By jacobzking · Posted

      Does anyone sell a pipe that's made to go from the Greddy FMIC kit for ECR33 (RB25DET) to the Greddy intake manifold?

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
